Continue ReadingHere we go! This is the last QB rankings of the 2023 class, which finalizes everything as all ranked QBs have signed. This list of 12 QBs exemplifies the best of the best throughout the years, and these are twelve athletes who have high expectations at the next level. Here are a few words on each of them!
Dante Moore Dante Moore 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Detroit King | 2023 State MI | UCLA Commit
Dante has ALWAYS been at the very top of the 2023 class. Since middle school, he was a highly-touted prospect, and you just knew he was destined for greatness. Now, he’s going to tear it up in the PAC 12 in sunny LA alongside offensive mastermind Chip Kelly. It’s going to be strange not seeing Dante on Friday nights, but It’s going to be so cool seeing him play on Saturdays!
Brady Drogosh Brady Drogosh 6'5" | 205 lbs | QB De La Salle | 2023 State MI | Cincinnati Commit
Drogosh is the highest-riser of any QB in the class and yes, I think he’s the 2nd best in the class. The 2021 State Championship really put Brady on the map, and soon after he committed to the bearcats. Even with a coaching change in Cinci, he’s still 100% all-in on the program! It’s obvious that Brady has been improving year after year, and I’m excited to see hin progress more as he prepares for the college game.
Drew Viotto
Drew
Viotto
6'4" | 220 lbs | QB
Walled Lake Western | 2023
State
MI
| Minnesota Commit
Drew has been an interesting prospect for me over the years. He’s an extremely talented athlete and passer who can truly make any pass in any situation, but is at times wildly inconsistent. Even so, he’s a Division 1 prospect and a great fit for the Golden Gophers.
Parker Picot Parker Picot 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB Rochester Adams | 2023 State MI | Alabama Baseball Commit
Picot is so dang fun to watch! This is the best Veer QB I can think of, and he truly elevated his team. A leader, a fighter, and a dang hard worker. He did have an offer to play football at Central Michigan, but you just can’t pass up SEC Baseball!!!
Christian Johnson Christian Johnson 6'0" | 210 lbs | QB River Rouge | 2023 State MI | GVSU Commit
A dual-threat menace that has fluctuated through the rankings. The Rouge QB ends up signing to one of the best DII programs in the country, and I think GV’s offense would absolutely explode with a true dual-threat. See you in Allendale, Christian!
Leeshaun Mumpfield Leeshaun Mumpfield 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Cass Tech | 2023 State MI | Ferris State Commit
Ferris is famously excellent at recruiting, and there’s no doubt they see a ton of potential in Mumpfield. Of course, earning the starting QB job at Cass Tech is going to be difficult, but once you ball out at Cass, colleges will assume you’ll ball out for them. In all honesty, Mumpfield wasn’t a prospect I paid too much attention to, but man am I scared of what he could do as a Bulldog! Go win a DII ring!
Mac VandenHout Mac VandenHout 5'11" | 190 lbs | QB Rockford | 2023 State MI | Davenport Commit
I would assume that I’m the only person that has Mac ranked this high, and probably one of the only people who has him ranked higher than another MAC Red QB. Now, I think the other guy had a better season, but Mac’s trajectory and leadership is what sets him apart. In his first season as QB, he performed like an elite player and his leadership was unmatched. Imagine what he can do with a few more years of development under his belt!
Mason Mckenzie Mason Mckenzie 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB Caledonia | 2023 State MI | Saginaw Valley Commit
McKenzie claimed his way to the top running a new offense last season and perfecting it this season. Although Mason couldn’t lead Caledonia to an OK-Red Championship, he got revenge on Rockford in the postseason and played his heart out at Ford Field. I’ve seen good progression over the years for Mason, and he’s got a shot to be good at SVSU!
Ethan Hamby Ethan Hamby 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Macomb Dakota | 2023 State MI | Northwood Commit
Hamby has some insane potential, let me tell you. Great size, rocket arm, and is a true winner. I was extremely impressed by Dakota this year and their ability to sweep the MAC Red while nearly reaching Ford Field. I could see Hamby being real good in college, and maybe he’s exactly what Northwood needs to improve in the W column!
Alex Buneo | Michigan Tech Commit
I remember gameplanning against Bueno was he was a freshman and I was a young coach at Avondale. That season, he killed us. Bueno is a great runner with some solid passing instincts while performing very well at many camps. Of course, I hope he does well at Michigan Tech!
Cane Mack Cane Mack 6'4" | 215 lbs | QB Portage Northern | 2023 State MI | Wayne State Commit
Cane is traveling with his Running Back to Wayne State, and I’m intrigued to say the least. When. I saw Cane against Byron Center, I wasn’t blown away by anything I saw but I wasn’t unimpressed either. He managed the game well. With that said, he wasn’t a big focus for me, and I’m super intrigued by the Wayne State signing. I know that Cane will adore the Detroit area, and hey, Wayne State is the best geographical location for DII Football in Michigan!
Colin McKernan Colin McKernan 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Brighton | 2023 State MI | Hillsdale Commit
McKernan was a KLAA god this season, and he fits very well with Hillsdale. It’s a beautiful campus with a pretty sweet football field on a hill, with some NFL alumni!
Robert Lalain Robert Lalain 6'4" | 220 lbs | QB Divine Child | 2023 State MI | Seina Heights Commit
Lalain to Seina Heights??? Okay, okay. Listen, Robert is an exceptional QB, and you could make a case for him to move up in the rankings for sure. He’s an amazing offseason worker and I’m confident he’ll start at the next level.
